Can anyone from capetown give an update ? Did it rain today ?

 

[Sartaj]

local weathermen say that there won't be any rain today but still,you never know.
this game (like all the single headers) should be a belter.
for some reason,barring KXIP and DC,i feel all the 6 teams have atleast 2 people who can single handedly change the game on their own and DC(won't bother talking about KXIP) has only one-Herschell Gibbs. we can't rely much on gilly though he has been a legendary player as he has been out of touch with the game for so long.i do hope that DC break the jinx or may be the RCB will give a harsh reality check to DC on where they actually stand.this one has got all the ingredients to be a ripper of a game.

 

[Howsie]

Ryder and Taylor better be playing today.

 

[naresh091]

I guess Ryder will be in the XI.Taylor wont be playing.

 

[cricketkid]

I just want a exiting close match
Something the ipl has been lacking so far

 

[naresh091]

Yeah almost every game played has been one side except the first one between CSK and MI(but that was boring though).Looking forward to have a close game.

 

[Pranav]

Deccan ftw.

This team performed brilliantly in the last match. Expect a big from Gibbs.

 

[naresh091]

I support the team which has 'The Wall' and 'The Warhorse' in it.

 

[SciD]

G and G on fire. RCB were hit by Hayden last match and Gilly this time.

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is crazy. 62-1 after 6 overs.

 

[SciD]

RCB will have 1 win after 3 games now. Since Kings suck I will support DC this season.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Ryder is proving his worth. He got a first ball wicket.

 

[SciD]

Who picked Ryder. He will spoil my FC ranking.

 

[deerkick]

Man Gilly could've continued playing for Australia if he wished. In ODIs atleast.
